I have used several different programs for notation on the PC. I have used
NoteWorthy, PC composer, Finale, (tried to use) Score, Finale and Sibelius.
Sibelius wins hands-down in every way. It is very easy to use, has great
MIDI support, etc... Basically it is a program that is made for musicians.
It knows how to transpose correctly and it looks beautiful.

You have none of the formatting problems that programs such as Finale
present you with to make things look really good. You should see some of
the scores that have come out of Sibelius!!

I am not affiliated with the company in any way, but I would recommend it
highly if you are looking to purchase notation software. It is currently
only available for PC, but it will be coming out in a few months with a
Macintosh version.
